Arbikie Single Estate Nadar Vodka

Nàdar was the world's first climate-positive spirit — launched in August 2020 with a carbon footprint of negative 1.54 kilograms per bottle — and it's made from peas. Master distiller Kirsty Black's PhD research at Arbikie, the Stirling family's field-to-bottle distillery on the Angus coast, asked a simple question: what if the base grain didn't need fertilizer? Peas fix their own nitrogen from the air, so growing them on the estate requires no synthetic fertilizer and improves the soil for whatever follows — which means the crop removes more carbon than distilling it releases. Nàdar means "nature" in Gaelic. The peas are grown, mashed, fermented, and distilled on the farm, and the vodka is bottled at 43% ABV. It drew coverage from CNN, and Winebow's tasting panel scored it 92 points and a Gold Medal: citrus fruit on the nose, a beautiful bouquet on the palate. Arbikie calls it an antidote to tasteless vodka — a base spirit made in-house that retains subtle flavors most vodkas strip out, with a vibrant, spicy taste against a contrasting floral nose. Expect a fresh, faintly green, floral aroma, opening into a rounded palate with a soft, savory, almost nutty sweetness the peas lend, a citrus lift, and a peppery finish. Honest note: reviewers say it's less a typical vodka and more its own thing — which is the point. For a Martini, a Gimlet, or a vodka soda with a genuinely good story, it's the most innovative bottle Scotland makes. Also the base of Nàdar Gin.
